DOVER — A former Lee man, who was shot twice in December after he allegedly waved a gun at police outside his home and made threatening remarks, has been indicted on 16 criminal charges.

Steven Amazeen, 46, is accused of placing his wife and seven police officers in danger during an episode that unfolded Dec. 3 at his home on Lee Hook Road. Amazeen's wife called 911 at 12:05 a.m. that morning and reported Amazeen was suicidal, according to a Lee police affidavit.

Amazeen became “enraged” when his wife asked for a divorce, the affidavit states. He then allegedly told her to stay inside the house, fired a round from his gun into the floor, exited the home and shot another round into the air.

Police from Lee, Durham, Barrington, Newmarket, Strafford, Newfields and Epping converged on the property at about 12:21 a.m. They found Amazeen standing in the road west of his home.

The attorney general's office is investigating what took place in the moments that followed, during which Amazeen was shot in the hip and shoulder.

Police, the county attorney and the attorney general's office during the past 15 weeks have declined numerous requests for further details about the incident.

Most recently, Foster's requested records associated with the shooting from all seven municipal police departments that deployed personnel to the scene. In a letter dated March 15, Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi, speaking on behalf of all seven police departments, declined to release any information before Amazeen's trial.

The letter came one day after Amazeen was indicted by a Strafford County grand jury on a slew of reckless conduct and criminal threatening charges. The indictments, which were released this week, provide some new information about the police allegations against Amazeen.

According to court documents, Amazeen allegedly pointed his gun at Durham Police Officer David Carpenter before he was shot. Amazeen is also accused of placing four other officers at the scene in fear of “imminent bodily injury or physical contact” by saying “'I know to shoot for the head,'” or “words to that effect,” according the indictments.

He also allegedly said "I have five bullets left; let's see what happens,” or “words to that effect.”

Three other criminal threatening charges allege that Amazeen also placed Carpenter and two other officers in fear of physical harm by approaching them aggressively and yelling while brandishing and/or waving a firearm.

Amazeen is facing eight criminal threatening charges. Each is a Class A felony, punishable by between 10 and 30 years in the New Hampshire State Prison and a $4,000 fine.

Amazeen also faces eight reckless conduct charges. Seven of them correspond with his alleged conduct in the presence of officers at the scene, which “placed, or may have placed” the officers in danger of death or serious bodily injury, according to the indictments.

One additional reckless conduct charge alleges Amazeen put his wife in danger by firing his gun inside the house while she was in close proximity.

The reckless conduct charges are all Class B felonies. If found guilty, Amazeen could also face prison terms of between 10 and 30 years on each charge.
